The requirements to qualify for a prize are: practice yoga every day in January (minimum ten minutes, or follow traditional moon day/ladies' holiday observances) and record it in some way on your personal blog or your Ning page, or email me to say "I did it! That's just so we have a way to verify -- obviously, this is according to the honor system! Yogis don't cheat! Satya and asteya, right? After Jan. 31, I'll draw names using a random number generator (or perhaps a small child pulling names from a hat) from all of our group members and then the donors will mail the prizes directly to the winners!

I would love to have several more prizes to offer, if anyone is inclined to donate!

that's a great idea, Chris! Yogamum, is it ok to change to bags instead? These are made from (what, Chris? linen?) and are dyed with mora roots, coconut juice and kabash (I think) juice and sort of tie dyed. All made very much by hand; I think she might have a sewing machine.

[Yogamum]

That sounds great!!

[JustMyMat]

I am one of the owners of JustMyMat.com and I would like to donate one of our personalized eco friendly yoga mats. Please contact me at [e-mail] for more information.

If anyone is interested in a new eco friendly yoga mat check us out and I want to offer this group an exclusive 5% discount by entering coupon code Yoga5

[Yogamum]

JustMyMat, thank you for the donation and the discount! And Kathy, that would be great and I'm sure it will be fine to wait until the spring!

[YogaLaura]

I am knitting a market bag for a winner. It is Tuscany red (maybe you will win it, Nona!) It is a lacy market bag that you can buy in coop stores.

[Yogamum]

Okay, I'm going to do a random number generator thing to select the prize recipients and get that information out by Monday, I hope!

I may have to do a separate drawing for the yarn donation, but I will figure it out!

[Anamika]

Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - 1 copy. Hope i'm not too late in responding

[Yogamum]

No, you're not too late! Thank you!!!

[Yogamum]

Still working on the drawing! More complicated than I thought! Should have results in the next day or two!

[Tim]

c'mon YM, this is worse than waiting for New Mexico ;)

[Yogamum]

Okay, the results are posted above!! It took a while to confirm who did/didn't complete the challenge. I used a random number generator to select a member, then confirmed either on their Ning page, blog or by email that they were eligible.

At this point the donors are responsible for getting information from the recipients as to where to send the prizes. I will send emails to the donors/recipients also but feel free to message each other, or post a comment on each other's page to get in touch.

That's all i have time for right now, will be back online later to further facilitate the exchange!
